Simon Spurrier was born in 1981. Working as an art director for the BBC, he took an unscripted tangent into the murky depths of writing and has since become an award winning author and graphic novelist.

His latest crime novel, A SERPENT UNCOILED was released to great critical acclaim in 2011, while his comics work has seen him scripting projects ranging from JUDGE DREDD to the X-MEN, via CROSSED and GUTSVILLE.

He is currently writing X-MEN LEGACY as part of the Marvel Now initiative.
